SPECIALTY ROOF VENTS
SOL-A-VENT
SOLAR POWERED
ROOF VENTS
®
FOR EFFICIENT VENTING OF ROOF SYSTEMS
Designed for continuous-operation performance, Sol-A-Vent® Roof Vents provide superior air movement using only
the natural energy of the sun while preventing the intrusion of water. The Sol-A-Vent® models offer positive venting
by creating a negative pressure within the roof system which tends to draw air, including moisture, out of the roof system.
MS-LP Aluminum Low Profile
Available in a low profile style for applications where
space or appearance limit using the taller standard size.
SOL-A-VENT
MODELS PROVIDE
NON-STOP
PERFORMANCE
BOTH DAY & NIGHT!

FEATURES:
• Positive Venting–Rain or Shine
• Continuous, Non-Stop Exhaust Flow–Day or Night!
• Powered by Nature
• Hyper-sensitive solar cell provides earlier, longer ventilation
A more sensitive solar cell starts working earlier. The powerful, 4" diameter
solar cell generates electricity at the slightest hint of daylight, performing
effectively during overcast days, in the shade and during low-light periods
of early dawn and late dusk. Powered by the sun, Sol-A-Vent® operates
noiselessly, and requires no external power source, wiring or switches.
• Sol-A-Vent’s superior design maximizes air flow, seals out water
• Trouble-free installation and durable materials let you rest easy…
Materials used in the design withstand wind-blown water, intense sunlight
and other corrosive and abrasive conditions. The solar cell and motor are
hermetically sealed to keep out moisture.
SOL-A-VENT® solar powered models, with battery
back-up, provide non-stop ventilation during daylight
hours and even in poor and no light conditions.
Moving 900 cubic feet of air per hour,
the Sol-A-Vent® provides non-stop ventilation
made possible by a top-of-the-line rechargeable
NiCad battery backup. Excess energy generated
by the advanced solar cell is stored in the battery
for use when the sun goes down. When fully
charged, the battery has the capacity to run the
vent for up to three days with no sunlight.
